Great location and a very enjoyable stay! It has a quiet neighborhood feel, but still in walking distance to everything we wanted to see. Host was great with communication and made the check in and check out process a breeze.

The apartment looked slightly worse for the wear compared to the pictures. It was decorated well enough but everything looked old and a bit rundown. The beds in both rooms are very small and not very comfortable. The window unit AC units are very loud. The location is walkable from downtown and the waterfront but the neighborhood it’s in is not great. We were excited to be close to a large park but it ended up being filled with drug junkies. I definitely wouldn’t walk around alone at night here.

Cool and Walkable

The place was on a charming street located within a 20 minute walk of everywhere we wanted to be in town. The check-in/check-out process was very easy and the owner was very responsive. Great stay!

Excellent stay close to downtown Portland

The property was in an excellent location. Close to Congress Street, and within walking distance to downtown Portland, the Old Port and Deering Oaks Park. Comfortable beds, clean towels and a well equipped kitchen. Late check out and a parking space provided for an extra fee. The property manager David was fantastic. Instant communication with any questions that we had upon arrival. We recommend this property to others visiting Portland.

Perfect for what I needed

The apartment is spacious and very clean. I was in town to provide the food service for a movie being filmed in Portland. The kitchen worked well for me and there was plenty of space to put out food. The only draw back was the lack of parking. I had to double park to unload my bins and park a few blocks away. I opted to pay the 60 private parking fee on the 2nd day. I highly recommend getting the parking.

Nice place. A lot of stairs..place was clean with a lot of room .. communication was great. Neat little places to walk to for food. Need more kitchen supplies..more dishes , silverware and cooking items. No spat! Parking was terrible and unit shouldn’t list that it has parking. Plenty of laundry supplies and towels. Owner replies immediately to needs.

Charming light-filled apartment

This was a charming, spacious & light- filled apartment in a convenient location. We really enjoyed the walk-ability of the whole area. There is an absolutely amazing farmers market on Saturday which is a 3 minute walk away. The only challenge, as was mentioned in other reviews, was finding street parking in the evening. We did manage to find a spot every time but the spaces were a few minutes walk away. It should not deter anyone just a heads up to be prepared. We very much enjoyed the space & the city.

Apartment is more or less as it appears in the photos, and provides the basic essentials. It lacked the extra touches though that many hosts provide such as extra towels and blankets and was just a little sparsely stocked/decorated overall so didn’t have a very warm cozy feel about it. While it’s located close to a main street where there are lots of restaurants and shops, the street it is on is rather rundown and didn’t feel very safe. Upon our arrival cops were on the scene dealing with someone in the designated parking lot for the apartment. There is a large park nearby but seems to be occupied by a number of homeless people. There are two sets of stairs to get into the apartment and I would note that the first set to get from the street to the front door of the building are a bit steep so not great for small children or anyone with mobility issues.

Great find

This is an old house that has been divided into multiple apartments. I booked this place because we have an 18 year sold who likes to have his own room, he claims we snore (whatevs). We also like to drink our own wine in the evenings, and our own coffee in the morning. This place is not the ritz, but it was perfect for the three of us. Very clean, very well stocked, beds were super comfy, towels and pillows new! A big bay window gave a beautifully sunny morning, and the big living room allowed us to be together in the evening. We didn’t cook but the kitchen looked clean and well stocked. Parking was a bit difficult but the owner had warned us, it’s street only, but only once did we have to park a little ways a way. Busiest Parking times are after 5:00 so if you go out, just uber, it’s likely cheaper anyway since Parking is so expensive on commercial street (minimum of $25). Also, the stairs up to the apartment are narrow and old, not good for anyone with agility issues. I also left an item and the owner graciously agreed to send it to me! We loved our stay here.

I don’t suggest this property for anyone that has difficulty with stairs! Which wasn’t mentioned in the listing. The neighborhood was unkept and we did not feel safe after dark. The parking was horrible so don’t bother waisting money on a rental. The lack of parking was not mentioned in the listing either. It actually showed a parking area which we found out doesn’t belong to this property and we weren’t allowed to use it. We had to cut our days off and be back by 3:00 pm or run the risk of having to park in another neighborhood and walk. On the weekend no one left their homes so we had to leave the car parked and walk to our destinations. The neighbors parked so close that you run the risk of not being able to leave anyway. Ultimately our group left early because we did not feel safe on the street at 3:30 am to pack our rental to get to the airport and were concerned that we would most likely be blocked in and miss our flight. The home itself was as listed except there was no dishwasher. There also is no tv other than the one in the living room. The host was very nice and answered when called.

Portland is Fantastic and this is a perfect apartment to call home base!

We enjoyed our stay greatly. There is a lot of room in this apartment. The primary bedroom has a queen bed and second bedroom has a double bed. The beds are comfortable with nice linens and duvet. The owners anticipated every need. The first morning we woke to find a plethora of coffee and tea choices. A large dining room and living room with a sectional and a futon. All comfortable. We enjoyed looking at the folksy 70’s art prints. There are air conditioners in the bedrooms that kept the apartment comfortable. The owners stocked the apartment with hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, dish washing detergent, etc… They had basic spices along with sweetners. The owners were extremely responsive to any questions/requests. The apartment is located - two blocks from a park. - a few blocks from the West Promenade which has beautiful Manaions - less than two miles to anywhere you want to go. We parked our car for our visit and walked everywhere! Great brunch restaurants: Hot Suppa (Scrambala and Corned Beef Hash). and Bayside American Cafe (Lemon and Wild Blueberry French Toast (get one piece!) and Cinnamon Roll pancake) We had wonderful lobster rolls all over and visited lighthouses. What an incredible stay! Note there are two sets of steps to access the apartment. This was no problem for us and we really liked how the owners had the code locks on the house entrance and apartment. We will definitely stay here again. Portland is such a great city.
